Troubleshoot User Assistance (Intro) [message #307879]

In my eclipse based application I want to add an intro page.
Therefore I defined an intro as described in
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-ua/proposals/welcome /intro_xhtml/index.htm,
and I also tried to proceed as mentioned in the Platform Plug-in Developer
Guide/Programmer's Guide/User assistance support/Welcome.

My problem is that the application starts as if nothing were defined. So I
am searching for a method to troubleshoot the intro thingy. Are there
logfiles? Is there something that can be debugged? Any validation wizards
available?

All ideas welcome.

..log file for a eclipse project

<runtime-path>/.metadata/.log

e.g. <runtime-path> = <workspace-path>/runtime-<your app>.product

..log file for an exported application:

<application-path>/configuration/*.log

If you add -consolelog as a command line parameter to your launch
configuration, log output is redirected to the eclipse console.

I tried both looking at the log and meanwhile I added the -consolelog switch
to my IDE launch configuration, yet there does not show up any message
regarding intros. Is there something else I can do?
